The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 425 Shaking hands and making peace

The silence was only for a moment, but it made the waiting long and difficult.

In the hazy moonlight, everyone's shadows appeared a little deserted and lonely.

Among them, the tallest figure moved first.

Facing the boy in front of him, he slowly raised his arm and stretched out his hand.This posture, is to shake hands?Or do you want to make trouble?
Qilan clearly remembered that last time, it was the same hand that grabbed his collar and wanted to slap him.At this time, the moonlight seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making Lin Yitang's face very pale.

His eyes did not have the sharpness of the night when they first met, but were surprisingly calm.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gratified smile.

"Little scholar, I have always owed you a thank you. If you and the second brother hadn't followed all the way to Tianjin, we would have been wiped out."

Qilan was secretly taken aback: the sun will come out from the west one day.If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, you wouldn't believe it was true.

Whether it's disdain, arrogance, or hands-on. All the unhappiness in the past has gone with the wind because of this long-overdue thank you from Young Master Lin.

Qilan smiled generously, and stretched out his hand:
"You're welcome. It's all about surviving in troubled times, and fighting wits and courage with a bunch of enemies in the dark. It's also necessary to help each other."

Their hands were held together from different directions, tightly, as if they were long-lost friends.

Qilan felt that Lin Yitang's hand was very strong.Very well-behaved, it is a unique way of shaking hands for soldiers.Just a little cool.Perhaps it was the initial recovery from a serious injury.

Li Yan, who usually likes to interrupt, became silent instead.Standing on the side sullenly, staring at the icy edges hanging from the trees by the roadside in a daze.

Qilan and Lin Yitang shook hands for a long time before releasing each other's hands.

What specific things happened between the two?
The Li brothers and sisters don't know very well.Seeing them standing side by side like friends, I couldn't help being happy.

Jianhua found out that there was a single person, and kindly sent Caiwei to ask.

Her steps are light.The soles barely made a sound on the thin snow.He stepped forward and yelled several times before Li Yan came back to his senses.

"Brother Li, my brother would like to introduce you to a job in a printing factory that the newspaper cooperates with. The environment is much better than that of the inn, and you can earn a little more money."

He resolutely declined.

"Thank you for his kindness. I still have room and board where I work, so I don't want to change."

Caiwei lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Oh, all right. I'll tell him what you mean."

Li Yan had an expression of reluctance and reluctance.

Jianhua, who was watching from the sidelines, saw some signs.So I ran to apologize.

"Ah Yan, I'm sorry. I know there is a place that can accommodate the four of us, and the rent is not expensive. It's just that it's far away from the inn, so I want to find something nearby for you."

He had good intentions, but it was not easy to find a good place to live in a short period of time and also take into account the inconvenience of other people going to work.

However, as soon as the words came out, a scoop of cold water was immediately poured on him.

"You don't want us all to move to the printing factory? No, it's too noisy. Don't sleep at night when the machine starts."

"No, no, I misunderstood." Jianhua shook his head and waved his hands anxiously, "The place where I live is not a printing factory, but the alley behind the newspaper office where I work. There are three or four miles between the two places. It won't be noisy."

Caiwei was afraid that her brother would not be able to explain clearly, so she came over to help explain, "It's a very quiet old house. I can't even see a stray cat. Let alone people."

She glanced at Qilan, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaolan about it. We will take the same road when we come back tonight."

"It's really quiet there, but it's not safe for everyone to live together."

During the day, Lin Mi's father and daughter were safely sent to the countryside and settled in Chen Xing's house.The biggest stone in Qilan's heart has landed safely.

Right now, the whereabouts of Lin Yitang and Li Yan need to be carefully considered.One is wanted by the whole city and may be discovered by plainclothes at any time.

The other's life experience has been hidden for many years, and at least two forces are secretly looking for it. Once the identity is revealed, the consequences will be unpredictable.

"In my opinion, Young Master Lin also moved to the countryside, so he can be with his uncle and cousin. Brother Li can continue to stay in the city and do what he wants, but always be careful."

"I'm not going to cause trouble for others." Yitang spread his hands, "At least I have to work to earn money to support myself. What does eating and drinking for free mean?"

He patted Li Yan's shoulder sincerely:

"I'll do the job in the printing house. You can stay in the inn, and remember to visit us often when you're free."

Everyone is right.Li Yan blushed.He felt that it would be inappropriate to be stubborn again.

"Actually, I don't want to leave the inn because"

"Can't bear to part with your fussy little apprentice who eats loudly?" Cai Wei couldn't help laughing out loud while teasing him.He blushed even more.

"Not entirely. I'm waiting for Uncle Li's letter."

"Uncle Li?! You mean, there is still contact now?"

"Yes. After I went to the north, I have been sending money and writing letters on time every month for more than three years. Except for the month when the accident happened, it was nearly 20 days late."

There was a subtle change in Yitang's expression.

On New Year's Day, Mr. Lin called his nephew to go out before dawn, and began to say that he would go to see the tickets early, but he suddenly took out a letter from his arms on the way.

He was momentarily bewildered. "Why did you use Li Yan's name and the address of the inn? Is it Uncle Li who received the letter?"

"You don't need to ask too much. You go to post it first, and don't tell Li Yan and others after you get back. Including Mi'er."

Out of curiosity, Lin Yitang wanted to quietly take it apart to see what was written inside.

Uncle had no choice but to stick the heavy letter tightly, unless the envelope was torn off, he couldn't see it at all.

He never imagined that in this dangerous situation, Li Yan still maintains the habit of sending money every month to the dumb Uncle Li who raised him until he was 12 years old.

If Uncle Li can receive two letters in a month, wouldn't he be revealing his secrets?
Yitang's heart skipped a beat, and he decided to drag Li Yan to the printing factory anyway.

"Ah Yan, Uncle Li has raised you, and he is reluctant to let you leave him. But I am afraid that you will cook and deal with pots and pans like him for the rest of your life, so I agree to hand you over to my uncle."

Jianhua also heard what he meant.

"Tangtang is right. Your adoptive father must hope that you will be successful. The night shift in the printing factory is a bit hard. The advantage is that you have free time during the day, and you can read and write. You don't need to be smoked every day."

The two went into battle together, and Li Yan finally gave way.

"I'm going to say goodbye to my apprentice tomorrow morning. Tell him to help me keep an eye on the south for any letters."

"It's really good to have an apprentice," Yitang smiled, "To tell you the truth. I also have an apprentice. He's less than ten years old. He sells newspapers for a living. Today is the place where he took me to a car accident."
